Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup and arrange the thick-cut bacon in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning, then let it drain on a paper towel to remove excess grease. Step 2: Prepare Sausage Patties While the bacon cooks, shape the ground pork into larger patties. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add the patties. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C). In the last minute of cooking, place slices of mild cheddar cheese on top to melt beautifully. Step 3: Scramble Eggs After the sausage is cooked, wipe the skillet clean and reduce the heat to low. Add a tablespoon of unsalted butter to the pan and let it melt. Pour in the beaten large eggs seasoned with kosher salt and black pepper, stirring gently as they cook. Continue stirring until the eggs thicken and form soft curds, about 3-4 minutes. Step 4: Assemble Sandwich Once all components are ready, it’s time to create your Breakfast Club Sandwich. Start by spreading cowboy butter generously on each slice of toasted white bread. Layer on the sausage patty, followed by two crispy bacon slices, creamy avocado slices, and a generous portion of fluffy scrambled eggs. Top with a final slice of toast and secure the stack with a toothpick. Step 5: Serve Carefully slice your hearty Breakfast Club Sandwich into triangles for a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately while the layers are warm and inviting. These sandwiches are perfect for sharing, and they promise to bring comfort to your breakfast table!

Freezing: If you want to prepare ahead, freeze the cooked bacon and sausage patties individually wrapped in aluminum foil for up to 2 months. Reheating: Reheat refrigerated components in the microwave or on a skillet until warmed through. For frozen items, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. Assembling Later: You can also freeze the assembled Breakfast Club Sandwich without the avocado. Just prepare fresh avocado when ready to enjoy! Make Ahead Options These Hearty Breakfast Club Sandwiches are perfect for busy mornings and can save you precious time during the week! You can cook the bacon and sausage patties up to 3 days in advance; just refrigerate them in an airtight container. The scrambled eggs can also be prepared ahead and stored for up to 24 hours—a handy tip to maintain their fluffy texture is to undercook them slightly so they don’t dry out when reheated. The cowboy butter keeps well for up to 5 days, making it easy to spread on your toasted bread. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply reheat the protein components, assemble the sandwich with freshly scrambled eggs and avocado, and savor a delicious breakfast without the morning rush! Expert Tips for the Breakfast Club Sandwich Cook Bacon Carefully: Ensure bacon is evenly spaced on the baking sheet to avoid steaming. This promotes crispiness and avoids sogginess! Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh eggs and ripe avocados make all the difference. Check for quality to elevate your Breakfast Club Sandwich! Customize Your Spread: Don’t skip on the cowboy butter! It adds a unique flavor; mixing different herbs will surprise your taste buds. Toast Your Bread: Lightly toasting the bread before assembling ensures a great texture for your sandwich and prevents it from getting soggy. Avoid Overcooking Eggs: Gently scramble eggs until just set for softness. Overcooked eggs can become rubbery—master this for perfect fluffy goodness! Breakfast Club Sandwich Recipe FAQs How do I choose ripe avocados for the sandwich? Absolutely! When selecting avocados, look for ones that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren’t overly soft. If they have dark spots all over or are too mushy, they may be overripe. If you find firm avocados, leave them at room temperature for a few days until they soften. How long can I store the sandwich components in the refrigerator? Very! Leftover components like cooked bacon, sausage, and scrambled eggs can be stored in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. This makes it super easy to whip up a quick breakfast or lunch throughout the week. Cowboy butter can last up to 5 days if stored properly! Can I freeze the Breakfast Club Sandwich? Absolutely! To freeze, it’s best to wrap the cooked bacon and sausage patties individually in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, placing them in a freezer-safe bag. This method allows them to be frozen for up to 2 months while retaining flavor. The assembled sandwich can also be frozen without the avocado; simply add fresh slices when ready to enjoy! What should I do if my eggs turn out rubbery? Ah, the classic scramble struggle! If your scrambled eggs turn rubbery, check the heat level. It’s essential to cook them over low heat and stir gently until just set—this usually takes about 3-4 minutes. If it helps, you can also add a splash of milk or cream to the beaten eggs for extra creaminess! Are there any dietary considerations for the Breakfast Club Sandwich? Very important! If you’re preparing this sandwich for anyone with dietary restrictions, consider swapping the ground pork sausage and bacon for turkey or plant-based alternatives, which are leaner. For those with dairy allergies, use vegan cheese instead of cheddar and opt for a plant-based butter alternative to make it allergen-friendly. Always double-check ingredient labels for hidden allergens! How can I ensure that my bread doesn’t get soggy when making the sandwich? Certainly! To avoid soggy bread, make sure to toast your bread lightly before assembling. Also, spreading cowboy butter on the outer layers of the sandwich can create a barrier that keeps moisture at bay. This ensures that every bite remains perfectly crisp!
